What a great person. Many a nice time in her house with John and friends. She always had the table ready to play games and a nice meal after the adventures we had hiking thru the river bottoms and area woods. She was giving of her time and energy to Johns friends and did it with ease. A lesson for all to learn from.

Sorry to hear about Aunt Dee, last of the Wilham era. I really liked her, she was a sweet lady. May she join all her siblings in heaven including Grandpa Cecil. Wayne's daughter.
